The Arrival of Mya

John and I are delighted to announce the arrival of Mya Rose Backhouse at 00:47 on Thursday 30th August 2012, weighing in at 7lbs 14ozs.

Although I was initially induced in the morning, I then managed to get through 17 hours of labour without any other drugs, helped by the amazing support of John and our neighbour Dinie who was our midwife.

 We spent 1 night in hospital before settling in at home.

New Arrivals - but not Kate!

One of our Ewe's has beaten me to it.  Last night she gave birth to a boy and girl lamb.  All are doing fine enjoying a bit of the spring weather we've had today.

Pregnancy Photo Shoot Photos

The photos have finally arrived from our Photo Shoot that we did in Auckland when I was 31 weeks pregnant.
